If you absolutely have to take your iPod with you everywhere you go (and we know a few people who practically sleep with them on), you'll be delighted to hear about the Speedo Aquabeat. Yes, now you can take your playlists with you to the pool.

The Aquabeat is a waterproof MP3 player that you can take down to a depth of 10 feet. It also floats, which is handy if you drop it midway through your back stroke.

It features 1GB of memory (that's 250-500 songs), nine hours of battery life, and weighs only 35 grams. And you can attach it to your goggles or swimsuit.

Just remember not to crank up the volume too high. You might not hear the sharks approaching. RM
